Story
Wyoming is a very sweet, 10 year old cat who has been a part of our family her whole life. She was rescued as a kitten from the side of the road along with her sister, Sedona. They are a bonded pair and need to be adopted together. Wyoming is shy, but will jump on your lap for pets once she gets to know you. She will tolerate dogs and kids as long as they are gentle, however will likely not do well with another cat except for her sister.

Story
Ebby is most likely originally a runaway or was abandoned in a complex in Norfolk, friends of mine took him in. When she moved she needed someone else to take him temporarily. I did so, however I am unable to keep him because we are moving to Japan.He is a sweet shy guy and he has been great with the children in the house and a few younger kids too. I think toddlers are going to terrify him though. Very talkative and curious, he likes to be in windows he will come with a new window bed for his new home.Speaking of which, he will come with everything that I have for him cat tree, litter box and the container system that was built for it, food, shampoo, meds(flea tick worms), food containers, FAA approved travel box, and treats, and bedding. As we have no other pets.I hate that we can’t take him to Japan but I simply don’t have enough notice to take him. If I can’t find him a home the shelters are all full we don’t know what to do. Please help.

Story
Meet Gilgamesh aka Gilly Gilly is a 4–5 year old neutered and vaccinated boy looking for his forever home. I found him by a dumpster while working my mail route, and he quickly became such a special part of my life. He has the BIGGEST personality and honestly acts more like a little person than a cat. He’s incredibly cuddly, loving, chatty, playful, and sometimes mischievous. He loves laser toys, toys on strings, and being showered with attention. He’s also perfectly happy sleeping beside me or finding his own cozy spot. He’s extremely friendly with people and has a sweet, social personality. It may take him time to get used to other pets. He is an indoor cat, although he’s very curious about outside and has even enjoyed trips to the beach! Rehoming him is heartbreaking, but my husband’s cat allergies have gotten worse, and we can no longer make it work. I’m looking for someone who will love Gilly like family and give him the attention, affection, and safe home he deserves.

Story
Peach is 3 years old, spayed, microchipped, and has no medical issues. Her vaccinations are up to date. We adopted her in Washington State. She is a very laid-back cat who approaches people with curiosity and is generally very friendly. However, she does not like being touched too much and may bite or scratch if she feels uncomfortable. She enjoys being close to you and getting into your personal space, but it’s important to limit physical contact unless she initiates or welcomes it. She loves food, especially dried meat treats. She does not scratch furniture as long as she has scratching posts and toys available. If you adopt her, we will include all of her belongings, including her cat tree, toys, and other supplies. The reason we are looking to rehome Peach is that things have become complicated between her and our baby. We are also a military family, and another move would be very difficult for her. We did not anticipate the situation becoming this stressful.

Story
Meet Pony Boy, a Gentle Senior Seeking a Quiet Forever HomePony Boy is a beautiful senior brown tabby girl with a classic striped coat and a calm, wise spirit. Yes, her name is confusing. She doesn't mind.She's very shy. New people and loud noises overwhelm her, and she hides until she feels safe. She won't be a lap cat on day one, but trust is worth the wait, and she bonds deeply once she gives it.She needs: a quiet home, ideally without young kids or boisterous pets, a safe room to settle in, and an adopter who lets her set the pace.Health: Her vaccines are not up to date, and she's hard to handle, so vet care takes planning. Her family should work with a low-stress or fear-free vet to get her shots and a senior wellness exam.Patient, gentle adopters wanted. Pony Boy has so much love to give.
